Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1887-05-04

Two recent speeches of David Littler,
until day or two ago chairman of the
appropriation committee of the Illinois
house of representatives., offer curious
contrast The first was delivered some
months ago and was devoted to coarse
abuse eff the republicans whom President
Cleveland had retained in office. He
called every republican a sneak who
who would remain in office under this
hypocritical administration. Gu Thurs
day he made another speech upon resign
ing his seat in the house On this occa-
sion he Iauded Cleveland to the skies,
spoke in glowing terms Of bis admins
tratlon and SAID that If he was not re-
elected it would be solely because he was
Il democrat and not because the people
could find any fault with him personally
or with his administration Certainly
David has experienced remarkable
change of heart within short period
The explanation is found in the fact that
in the interval between speeches No /
and the president has appointed Litter
to the honorable and lucrative position Of
member of the Pacific railroad iDvesti-
eating committee. The only inference
from Liltler's remarkable transformation
from the role of revller to that of flatterer
is that at least one republican sneak is
holding office under the administration.

RECENT CHARGES.

Calling of the Thunderer Before the
House-Saunderson's Defianoe-A Row at
Paris Over ''Lohengrin''-An Indepen-
dent Daughter of the Rothschiids.
LONDON, May 4.-In the house of commons
Tuesday evening Lewis, Conservative MEM
Der for Londonderry city, moved that the
house take notice that a breach of privilege
has been committed by the publication of an
article in The Times charging John Dillon
with falsehood, the article in question being
an editorial comment on Dillon's denial that
lie bad been an accomplice of Sheridan, the
dynamiter
Dillon demanded that the editor of The
Times be brought before the bar of the house.
The speaker, answering Dillon, said that if
the house decided that the article was breach
of privilege, motion could then be made TO
bring the offenders to the bar
Smith moved that the house adjourn in or
der to argue questions of fact.
Dillon strenuously opposed adjournment,
saying that he desired an immediate set
Element of the question. If the house would
now consider the matter he would prove the
publisher of The Times to be a base and COW
ardly liar.
Sexton said the Irish members accepted the
challenge and insisted upon full, free and i'm
mediate inquiry. Let them, he said, have an
inquiry by committee and then let The
Times produce its battalions of forgers and
hars. The Irish members would fully justify
themselves.
Harcourt said that Lewis motion was
covert method Of bringing an accusation by
one section of the house against another; vet
when the Irish members asked instant oppor-
tunity to meet the charges, the accusers
sought TO adjourn
Holmes, attorney general of Ireland, de
Eled that the government had connived at
the motion, which, he commended WIS offered
by Lewis IN perfect good faith. If The Times
publisher was called Immediately to the bar of
the house, the house would not now be able
To hear evidence III support of the charges,
therefore, in the absence OF the publisher Of
The Times he thought the very best way to
arrive at the truth was to offer a motion to
adjourn and carry it.
Gladstone opposed adjournment The de-
mand of Dillon and his colleagues for imme-

for the house to resist 1t had always been
customary fer the house itself to deal with a
motion calling attention 10 breach of priv-
iege without delay, and afterward, in special
Eases by the appointment of a committee of
inquiry
The motion to adjourn was carried by a
vote of 2l3 to ia
Smith moved to resume consideration of the
question on THURSDAY.
Sexton commended for Wednesday instead of
Thursday ms the day for resuming the discus

Dillon inquired if the editor of The Times

again took up the matter.

Giye the Boys a chance.

The present Illinois legislature is GER
tainly afflicted with mania for prohibit
ing anything and everything. Many acts
and pastimes heretofore considered limo
cent have fallen under the ban of one
house or the-other The latest diver ion
To be prohibited is the playing OF base
ball on Sunday, bill to that effect hav
ing passed the lower branch of the
general assembly. Who play ball
on Sunday? As general thing it is
the young clerks and mechanics in cities
whose time is fully occupied during
the week. They go into the fields on
Sunday afternoon during the summer
months and whiie-away few hours
in this healthful pastime. which
is certainly as Innocent as any di,
version can be and interferes with others
to not the slightest degree. 1t is cer>
tainly better for the bodies and minds OF
our young men to be thus engaged than
that they should spend the day in beer
garden, bending over a card table in the
noxious atmosphere of saloon, or
flirting with "chippies" on the street
corners. Healthy, vigorous young men,
engaged in painful toll all the week will
amuse themselves in some manner on the
only day of the seven that they have
freedom. If they are barred from limo
cent and healthful diversions they will
inevitably seek those that are harmful
and demoralizing.
1t is II curious and interesting fact that
the SCION who fathered this bill This name
is Vickers) is the principal Legislative
champion of the state printing thieves.
On the same day thai he succeeded in
passing his base ball bill ne tried 10 rush
through the house an emergency appro>
priatiOn OF $4,000 for the benefit of his
friends, the rapacity of the combine
having already exhausted the regular
appropriation. What narrow minded
hypocrile the man must bel he would
prohibit the youth of Illinois from in
dulging in harmless amusement, but car
see nothing wrong in conspiracy to rob
the state out of thousands of dollars
Vickers is evidently shining example Of
that class of hypocrites who strain at a
gnat and swallow camel, and who, as
Butter saws,
''Compound for sins they are inclined to
By damning hose they have 10 mind to.
